Food insecurity is known to be associated with obesity, but its association with physiological measures is unclear. Therefore, it was hypothesized that, compared with food‐secure individuals, those with food insecurity would have higher 24‐hour energy expenditure (EE [kilocalories per day]) and 24‐hour respiratory quotient (RQ [ratio]). Subsequently, hormones involved in appetite regulation, substrate oxidation, and EE were explored.
